A/N: I can't believe it's my last chapter! I created the Hudson kids over a month ago, and boy have they sure turned into people! I'm bummed this is ending, I have really enjoyed writing this. Sorry it took so long, I was busy.

"I really have no idea how to tell her Finn. We haven't talked since I left high school and frankly, she said she didn't want me." Rachel muttered.
"Rachel you're her daughter, she may have said that, but I know deep down she regrets it." he said his eyes locking with hers.
She blinked. "I really do want her to meet her grandkids, or at least know she has them, but she's not ready for it. She doesn't want me or them Finn. She doesn't care who I'm married to or how many children I have. She wouldn't care about them." she said her voice breaking and tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. Finn held her to his chest tightly.
"If she didn't care she wouldn't have called you Rachel. She wouldn't have looked up your number, or asked you to come over." he whispered. "If you don't want to go, at least tell her about the kids; she'll at least want to know."
She took a calming breath and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Finn smiled at how childish this looked and kissed her forehead. "Call her Rachel, she called you first."
-:)-
Rachel held her breath as a voice answered the phone.
"Hello?" the voice was higher then Rachel remembered it being and much more childish.
"Mom?" she whispered.
"I think you have the wrong number, it's just me and my mom living here and my only sister is my adoptive half-sister that I've never met and my mom hasn't talked to since she graduated, mom always talks about missing her, she's been looking for her number for ages now. Mom really wants to know what happened to her, because she's like twenty six now, and done with college and everything..."
"Beth?"
"Oh my god you're a stalker, I'm giving the phone to mom and she is going to trace your call and catch you and send you to jail for stalking me and-"
"I'm your sister Beth."
"You are not! You're a stalker!"
"Try me."
"What's your name?"
"Rachel Barbra Hudson."
"My sister's last name wasn't Hudson, it was-"
"Berry, I know. I got married."
"What's my mom's name?"
"Shelby Corcoran."
"A stalker would know that stuff."
"Beth" she said "I'm your sister, NOT a stalker."
"How do I know that?"
"Most people aren't stalkers, and ones that are usually only stalk either celebrities or exes."
"Good point, but one last question. "What color is New England Clam Chowder?"
(AN: Movie Trivia: Which movie is the hero asked a password, to which he answers New England Clam Chowder easily, then is asked if it is red or white, and has to guess the answer? P.S: ThatsHowGleeksRule don't answer. I KNOW you know this)
"White?" she said, puzzled.
"Okay, so you really ARE my sister. I have a few questions for you Missy."
"How many questions?"
"A lot."
"Pick one, I have to talk to your mom."
"Do you have any kids? I've wanted to be an aunt since my best friend Annie's sister had a baby and got to be an aunt."
"Yes I do."
"How many?"
"You already used up your question."
"I won't give mom the phone until you tell me!"
Rachel sighed into the phone "Okay, but after this do you swear to hand it over?"
"Yes."
"I have six kids, five boys and a girl."
"Really, at twenty-six? You must be like a robot that is trying to populate the Earth with robots and take over the world; either that or you need a hobby other than watching six babies drool all over your house."
"C. None of the above. Now can I talk to my mom?"
"Only if you swear that I can come over and be drooled on by my six nieces and nephews."
"Okay fine, but can I please talk to mom now?"
"It depends, what's in it for me?"
"Too many things to list right now Beth."
"Okay but really, I expect five bucks from this."
"No way Beth."
"Take it or walk sis."
"I'll take it. Hand over the phone."
"Wait, I forgot that mom just left while we were talking to get groceries. She will be back in about thirty minutes."
"Thanks Beth, bye."
Rachel wasn't sure if she was happy Shelby wasn't home or upset. She hadn't ever really talked to Beth before, the small baby that had been the biggest scandal that any one of them had ever seen play out. She flopped back on her bed, glad it was nap-time for her three youngest children and that her older three were at school. Her eyes closed slowly and she fell asleep.
-:)-
Rachel startled from her sleep when the phone rang loudly. She reached over and took it from the receiver.
"Hello?" she asked, her voice thick with sleep.
"Is this the, uh, Hudson household?"
"Yeah."
"Rachel?"
"Shelby?"
"Rachel, I'm so glad you called me back! I wasn't sure if you would. Beth told me you called earlier, but refused to tell me anything you said."
"I did." She wasn't sure how much she wanted to say yet, unsure how Shelby would take the news her daughter had six children she didn't know about.
"I know this is a lot to ask Rachel, but I really want you to come over. I don't want to catch up on the phone."
She considered what Beth said about Shelby searching for her number for years.
"Alright."
"You won't regret this Rachel. Oh and one more thing: bring your family, I want to meet them." she smiled.
"But…" Shelby had hung up and Rachel hadn't gotten to warn her about the six tornadoes coming to her house tomorrow.
-:)-
It was Will that knocked on the door, he had ran ahead.
"Who are you?" Beth asked opening the door.
"William Finn Hudson."
"My nephew?"
"Yes."
"How old are you?"
"Six."
"Come on in." she smiled, pleased that not all her nieces and nephews weren't babies. Will walked inside and Beth shut the door and ran upstairs with Will.
"Hey mom, this is my nephew Will." she said, gesturing to Will who was smiling widely.
"Beth Quinn Corcoran, you don't have a nephew."
"I do too, I have five."
The doorbell rang. "I don't have time for this Beth, take him home." she said looking at Will.
"I don't know where he lives, considering I've never met my sister before!"
Beth called after her mother.
Shelby opened the door to be nearly knocked over by three children running and one toddling into her house. She was confused until she saw the young women.
"Rachel? Is that you?" she asked.
"Yeah mom, it is." she whispered, only to be hugged tightly by her mother.
"Finn Hudson? I don't believe it! You two were always perfect for each other, but no one ends up with their high school sweetheart, ever."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the kids, you hung up before I could say and..."
"Rachel, are you telling me that those four kids that just ran in the house, the one upstairs with Beth, and the one Finn is holding are all yours?"
"Yes mom, I am."
"Wow, grandmother to six and didn't even know it." she said, plopping down on the couch.
"Would you like me have them introduce themselves to you?" Rachel asked.
"Sure" she breathed out, her eyes closed, still taking in her situation.
"Do you guys want to meet your grandma?" Rachel yelled to the room at large.
I chorus of "yeahs" filled the room.
The kids plopped down on the couch, even Beth and Will who had just come downstairs.
"I'm Will and-"
"I'm Hannah!"
"I'm six and-"
"Never mind, Aaron, you first and we will go down the couch."
"I'm Aaron, I'm almost free." (An: He means three)
"I'm Hannah and I'm four and I'm the only girl in the whole house except mommy."
"I'm Mark, I'm four and I go to pre-school."
Will stood up. "I'm Will and I'm six. I like racecars, trucks and drumming."
Rachel picked up Joey. "This is Joey, he's eighteen months old."
"And this is Coen and he's one month old." Finn finished.
Beth stood up. "I'm Beth, I'm eleven and I'm taking Will upstairs to play Mario Kart with me." Will followed her up the stairs, delighted that he got to play with a real live almost-sixth-grader.
-:)-
I chorus of good-byes filled the air as the Hudsons drove off in their car.
Coen, Joey and Mark had fallen asleep at around eight. Aaron around nine. They had left at ten with four sleeping kids and two that were half asleep. "Thanks for making me call back, Finn." Rachel whispered to Finn, who was about three-quarters of the way to falling asleep in the passenger seat.
"You're welcome." he yawned. She watched in the rearview mirror as Will, then Hannah, and finally Finn feel asleep. Still thirty miles from home and exhausted herself, Rachel pulled over to the side of the quiet road and fell asleep too.
I know how corny and or cheesy the ending was, but I like to make people fall asleep to stories, it makes them feel like real people that get hungry and tired and all that stuff.
